LIMAX. 1 iJ3 



Var. LUCTUOSUS, Moquin-Tandon. Black, 



dorsal zone of yellowish white. 

 Yar. ORNATUS, Lessona. Black, with the carina and dorsal zone 



and two series of maculations, white. 

 Var. STROBELT, Lessona. Grayish, with the carina and a narrow 



dorsal zone of white, maculated with black and white on the

 Yar. STABILEI, Lessona (fig. 47). Blackish on the back, the sides 



lighter, zoned or maculated with black ; shield black, lighter 



and maculated on the margins; lateral zones of the disk 



brownish. 



Westerlund in his " Moll. Sveciae " mentions vars. leucogaster, 

 Morch ; albus, Paasch ; cinereo-nebulosus, Malm ; and niger, fas- 

 ciatus and flavescens, Westerlund. Numerous other varieties 

 have also been named by various authors ; but they are all of 

 too little importance to justify the expenditure of time neces- 

 sary to arrange their synonymy.
